[plug] Jinja/LaTeX child templates (this time on github instead of attachment)

[Chris Caston]

Hi Kirk,

Thank you for your excellent help.

I just realised I have been sending directly to you rather than posting to
the list.

I have updated the file: test2.template:

\BLOCK{ extends "jinja-test.template" }

\BLOCK{block content}
This provides you some additional text from the child block.


\BLOCK{ block content }
 My string: \VAR{my_string}



Loop through the list:
\begin{itemize}
\item
\BLOCK{ for n in my_list }
\VAR{n}
\BLOCK{ endfor }

\end{itemize}


\BLOCK{ endblock }

in jinja-test.template it now has:
\section{\VAR{section8}}

\BLOCK{block content}\BLOCK{endblock}

\end{document}

I have updated the files at: https://github.com/warmheartcoin/jinjalatex


It still doesn't render the child template. Perhaps it can't find it?

Do I need load the template perhaps something like this? (from
https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.10.x/api/)


from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader, select_autoescapeenv =
Environment(
    loader=PackageLoader('yourapplication', 'templates'),
    autoescape=select_autoescape(['html', 'xml']))
